I know about package-cleanup but that doesn't really address what I was talking about. I think i was either unclear r confused (possibly both). I think there are potentially RPMs that are still available from the repos which are no longer required under GNOME 3. I see that the GNOME applet RPMs were all removed by the upgrade, but I still have a number compiz RPMs which (if I understand correctly) are no longer used under GNOME 3. They've been updated to F15 versions, but I don't think I need them any more. Or am I completely wrong?
